+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | The Scorpio Dragon | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ I am Scorpio and I can fly as high as the noble eagle or play it down and dirty, stinging as if a scorpion, both of which symbolize my zodiacal sign. I have been told so many times that I am passionate, intense, can be green with envy, can be vindictive that I almost begin to believe some of these appellations. If I took seriously what is said and written, I would be making love all night and planning insurgencies all day. I am drawn to the Occult, I am competitive, I desire victory but I also insist on fair play. It is not easy to defeat me because, like the fabled Phoenix, I rise from my own ashes...I come alive when most people would consider me dead and buried. I adore secrets, I am sensual, my psychic impressions usually are accurate, my dreams are prophetic and I am an incurable romantic. I delve deep, I reject superficial responses, I am the probing editor, psychoanalyst, finder of lost persons, purveyor of arcane aspects of the law, knowledgeable about taxes and various aspects of inheritance. I can be jealous, will fight for what is right, seldom do anything halfway, can fall madly in love and I can also be completely vulnerable. Yes, I can be hurt, but I also possess retaliatory weapons that might give as adversary fits. I tear down for the ultimate purpose of rebuilding on a more suitable base. I am creative, rebellious, can be fixed in my views, am willing to take a gamble but prefer a sure thing. I am tormented by the fact that evil exists. Maybe that is why I seem to be a natural healer. I abhor suffering and will risk my own skin to save others. Oh, yess, I can be evangelistic. I am dynamic and dedicated when the cause is right. In the Chinese Astrology, I am an unquenchable fire, the center of all energy, the stout heroic heart. I am truth and light, I hold power and glory in my sway. My presence disperses dark clouds. I have been chosen to tame the Fates. I AM THE DRAGON! Now, listen. If I tell you anymore, you might know everything and then lose interest. And that would devastate me! Blessed Be!.........Sewna, The Scorpio Dragon 750
